I'd say those both qualify as source code modifications. Yeah, the threading bit
can be changed by renaming files, or moving a link or somesuch. But it is the
same issue. If you do any of that, you aren't taking the defaults. Everyone who
builds as per the instructions should get compatable Gnat builds.
So on to my next naieve question: What exactly is the "nightmare scenario" here?
Say one person has a Linux FSU-threads build, and another has a Linux native
threads build. What bad things are you worried about happening?
